Little Pink Houses Sketch

Because of kind Cathy Weber, I decided to enter this in the CR84FN Challenge, too...I forgot that yellow was the other color paired with pink this week!

I was singing that John Cougar Mellencamp (or is he now John Cougar? John Mellencamp?) song "Ain't that America" while I was making this sketch card. You know the line..."Little pink houses, for you and me..."

﻿

I had colored this cottage from A Cottage Home way back at release time, but did not have any patterned paper that went well with my pink house! It had been sitting in my "How do I use these on a card?" bin for too long. I stamped some plaid paper using the stripes from Off Beat Backgrounds and Pic-Nic Patterns. It kind of looks just like striped paper now because the cottage is hiding the vertical stripes! The sentimentand tiny hinges from A Cottage Home are stamped on PTI's Linen Vellum cardstock and wrapped around the card front.

I colored the house with Copic markers, layered it with dimensionals, and then added glitter here and there. Oh how I love the scallops on the roof, the teeny lanterns, and the sweet little details on the door! The delicious satin ribbon is in the color "Lemon Whip" by A Muse Studio.

Now it's your turn to get creative! Upload your project HERE by next Friday, January 27th. Be sure to include at least one Waltzingmouse Stamps image on your creation to be eligible to be the randomly-selected participant who will win a WMS set of choice!

I love that song...sing it in my head all the time!Oh! I'm singing it right now! :)But this house is fabby in pink...and love that stamped background...love plaid! :)The ribbon and vellum sentiment...just a gorgeous card! :)

All those copic classes have sure paid off for you, the coloring on your cottage is gorgeous Kelly. I love the plaid background on this one too with that gorgeous bow. You need to enter this in CR84FN, I think those are the exact colors for this week. You would win!

Such a GORGEOUS card Kelly! I love your little pink house! Yes, it reminds me of Cougar Mellencamp's song! YIKES ~ we are showing our age! :) LOL You did an amazing job coloring the sweet image and I love the shimmery roofline! Thanks so much for playing along with CR84FN :)

It is times like this Miss Kelly that I live in awe of your stupendous work. Your pieced and colored to perfection house is outstanding. And pink to boot! You know I love that plaid background too. Amazing!

This caught my eye because of the interesting BG. I like big block stripes and wondered if yours were PP. Lo and behold they are stamped. And with a set that I have been eyeing for awhile. Thanks for another good argument to buy it!
